Product information

Great Taste 2023 1 Star
Herb Fed - For a bird with Taste.
Our award winning free range Herb Fed whole chickens are full of flavour and succulence - ideal for a family Roast. Feeds 5-7ppl.

Well known and loved, Herb Fed Poultry are raised by Emma and Edward Wilkinson on beautiful Yorkshire pastures. Their free-range living means they can peck away at the delicious grass, insects, herbs and cereals all day long and nestle down in their beds of straw in our small-flock huts by night.

Herb Fed chickens are exceptionally special not only because they are slow grown & reared in small flocks, but they are also fed on a unique diet of fresh herbs. We are the country’s first and only producers of Herb Fed Poultry.
Our birds fresh herb diet are the excess trimmings or herbs from another local farm that have simply gone past their best and would otherwise end up on a compost heap. By using this waste, we are not only contributing to our bird’s quality of life, but doing so in a way which is sustainable and environmentally friendly.
The herbs are nutrient-rich, and the variety means our birds are introduced to important additional minerals and vitamins, alongside their additive and hormone free cereal diet supplied by a local mill.
The unique herb diet coupled with our slow-growing ethos allowing the meat and muscle to develop as it should, makes for our trademark taste and texture - surprisingly not herby, but exceptional!

Smelly, dry and full of feathers

I was expecting a great-taste chicken in line with the description. Upon opening it there was an off smell but because the chicken had another four days to the use by date I decided to ignore it, thinking it may be the packaging or the feathers, as the wings were full of feathers. I removed the feathers, thinking they may well be responsible for the smell. I also added half a lemon and herbs inside the cavity hoping that would also help. I shouldnt have bothered. The off smell didnt go away and when the chicken was cooked it was dry and frankly inedible. Such a disappointment. Just as well I made some nice roast potatoes and veg. Never again!

Expected better

Despite cooking as instructed, the chicken was very dry. I have had far better quality from cheaper buys. I definitely would not buy again, or recommend.

Surprisingly

So after the reviews I had great hopes for this. But initial experience was not good. Bag contained blood water. Did a herb and anchovy butter a la Gill Mellor which I stuffed under the skin. Started to roast it and then blood started appearing from the cavity. Carried on cooking it and it was delish. Just a somewhat nerve racking experience. Think I will stick with Oakham which always deliver without the stress.

Exceptional Quality

I was lucky enough to buy one of these in a flash sale but I would definitely buy it full price. The quality is exceptional - very little fat - and the size is very large. I have actually got 7 meals for 3 adults from one bird.

Really good

Lovely tasty plump chicken, packaged well, definitely recommend. Keep an eye on use by dates tho, we ordered two last time and they had same package date but one had a use by date a week longer than other, and can’t see how it could have kept okay that long.

The best chicken ever

Well, yes its a bit pricey but how much is the welfare of a bird worth? It tastes as chicken should taste for a reason. Probably the best chicken i've ever tasted from a supermarket. It's definitely worth the extra and there's plenty to go round several meals so really it's not even that pricey. Go for it, you wont regret it.
